No Time for Flash Cards

I have found the BEST blog while building my newest cyber home on Pinterest. I was immediately drawn to the name No time for flash cards because my brain started firing off all kinds of responses as I waited for the page to load and guessed what I would find. hands-on. interactive. new thinking. fun. excitement. integration. And when I got there, I was happy to to see that I was on the right page. {literally and figuratively!}

The site was started by Allison McDonald and her background in young children is obvious. In case the tagline "A resource of activities for young children that promote play, discover and learning" doesn't grab you, the looooong list of links to the right certainly will! There are videos of Allison singing songs related to topics, photos of her adorable son creating projects and enough directions and examples for even the most unexperienced of teachers. I was immediately drawn to her alphabet posts and LOVE that she has projects not just for capital letters but lowercase letters as well! {I can hear the cheers and applause from my fellow kindergarten teachers everywhere.}

What are you waiting for?! Head over to No Time for Flash Cards to get more ideas on the alphabet, back-to-school, superheroes, baseball, popsicles, camping, robots and anything else you could think of!

And don't forget to LINK UP below to share how you organize jobs in your classroom! :)

Monday can be just as great as Friday!

A parent once called me "Little Miss Glamour" in a conference. She didn't mean it as a compliment, but I'm taking it as one anyway. Come along with me and my adventures with my favorite people on earth...kids.
